Pros

Great customer service experience in all departments. Local management is friendly and willing to work with employees to improve. Almost like having a second family.

Cons

Loss of store employment hours and cutting operating hours. Profitable stores have been sabotaged to loss of profits and customer count. We no longer sponsor local vendors or carry products our customer base wanted and routinely purchased. Walgreens started as a small business over 100 years ago and is now rejecting local small businesses. Budget hours being cut have made a more stressful work load on the remaining team members and management. They would rather take the insurance for losses than of product and from robberies, than increase security not only for employees but also customers. The area is questionable at best and city police is lacking and can only do so much.

Pros

None, it's all about what are you going to do for me today and no thanks for what you have done

Cons

Nothing is good enough, no bonuses, work miracles, no help, no staff, do more with less, doesn't matter what you did for me before... what are u going to do for me today, cutting benefits, always working with fear from upper management

Pros

Team members makes working here easier to get through the shift. They typically have your back when you need them.

Cons

There’s not enough employees and they expect you to get a lot done which is impossible when your short staffed and running around trying to cover photo, pharmacy, and customers up front. The company doesn’t seem concern about their employees safety or happiness , and many times employees are put in dangerous situations. There are never any store supplies when you need them and the store is a mess. Resets barely get completed due to employee shortage. As a shift lead, don’t expect to see your friends or family because Walgreens becomes your life. There is absolutely no work life balance working here. And expect to work turn around shifts where you leave at 11:30 at night sometimes later, and are expected to open at 7 the next day. The company overall is going down, and I don’t see myself being with the company any longer. I think about walking out everyday and if it wasn’t for bills I would have been quit.
